Small teapot has these characters on the bottom. I wanted to know what they say. Thank you.

On the right: Dai 大 Nippon 日本 (Great Japan) Hizen 肥前.
On the left: Arita 有田 and then 2 marks of the artist's name which I can't decipher followed by Sei 製 (made).
Arita is a town in the Hizen province, this is Arita porcelain from the late Meiji period (circa 1900).
Perhaps I find more time in the weekend to figure out the name.
Regards,
Martin.

Have found the name, which is Aoki 青木.
So the complete mark is: Dai Nippon - Hizen - Arita - Aoki Sei.
See also the my picture.

Mark of the Aoki Kyodai-Shokai (Aoki Brothers Company), which was founded in the 1890's by Aoki Jinichiro (1863-1955). The Aoki Family Kiln was a very important Japanese Hizen kiln: the Aoki Ryuzan Kobou Gama (kiln). The Aoki Kiln closed after the turn of the century (1900) before they were reopened later by 2 descendants.
Regards,
Martin.
